Mark art while making a difference!

Come to Crafty Action Society, a monthly series at CVA where we get creative while supporting local non-profits. This month we'll focus on fashion with visible mending, a creative approach to repairing clothing and bags with stitches, patches, and repairs intentionally left on display. It's where the repair becomes a decoration and each stitch is a glorious sign of who you are, what you love and where your clothes have been. Bring an article of clothing or choose something from our selection of previously loved clothes. All levels welcome and materials are provided, along with snacks and beverages.

Crafty Action Society is a way to bring people together to learn from local organizations working for social change and to do so through “craftivism“- using creative expression to cultivate awareness and spread their message. For July, join us in crafting with the Art + Action Lab, CVA’s high school internship program where artistic teens get an inside look at creative careers, learning how they operate, building relevant skills, and connecting to a community of creative professionals.

Tickets are available on a sliding scale from $10 - $40. Pay what you can!
